Bus arrived - got to Overlander Roadhouse at 21.00 pm (9oc) to be picked up by "Mike" the shuttle operator and got to Monkey Mia after midnight. No front-office
staff so they had stuck an envelope with the room key and a map of the Resort
onto the door of the Reception office for me. It actually worked; after a
long trip and a bit of maze running I found my room, with the help of the map (essential).
Next morning (3/9/2016), I formally signed
in with Reception and was directed to the wharf to book/pay for my Aristocat 2
nature cruise.
This cruised for 5 hours within the Eastern arm of the Shark Bay Marine Park, with long stretches along the coast of Francis Peron National Park. Pearling barge tour, dugong and dolphin sightings, and I got a view of the near-shore sea-grass beds.
4/9/2016 WA Monkey Mia. Extensive walk through the bottom end of Francis Peron National Park and along its shoreline. Booked a 25min scenic flight over the opposite coast of Francis Peron National park with views of the Dirk Hartog Island coast across Western arm of Shark Bay. It was not possible to “cruise” the entire bay because of its massive size. Overflight was the only practical solution.
